Julia is a functional programing language that has similar characteristics to Mojo but a large runtime, which stems from the decision to use garbage collection in the language. Julia notable features include:

  • Multi-dispatch approach

Multi-dispatch approach

Multiple dispatch or multimethods is a feature of some programming languages in which a function or method can be dynamically dispatched based on the run-time (dynamic) type or, in the more general case, some other attribute of more than one of its arguments.

This is a generalization of single-dispatch polymorphism where a function or method call is dynamically dispatched based on the derived type of the object on which the method has been called.
